Key Transparency

Key Transparency provides a lookup service for generic records and a public,
tamper-proof audit log of all record changes. While being publicly auditable,
individual records are only revealed in response to queries for specific IDs.

Key Transparency can be used as a public key discovery service to authenticate
users and provides a mechanism to keep the service accountable. It can be used
by account owners to reliably see what keys have been
associated with their account, and it can be used by senders to see how long an
account has been active and stable before trusting it.
